[0030] The second arc-shaped placement board 13 is planted with shade-loving hanging plants (such as ferns and pothos), located above the umbrella surface 5, which can provide shade for the umbrella surface 5.
[0031] Manually pull the movable lever 4 to the target height and fix it with the locking device to adapt to different lighting angles at different times.
[0032] Expand the water collection cover 8 to adjust the water collection range. In rainy weather, guide rainwater to the roots of green plants. In dry weather, close the water collection function to reduce evaporation.
[0033] In strong winds, lower the height of the movable pole 4 and tighten the umbrella canopy 5, or remove the second layer of the greening rack to reduce wind resistance.
[0034] Connect a drip irrigation pipe below the water collection cover 8 to automatically irrigate the green plants with the collected rainwater.
[0035] Furthermore, positioning blocks 25 are provided on both sides of the two first arc-shaped fixing plates 9 and the two second arc-shaped fixing plates 11. Each pair of positioning blocks 25 is fixed by a first bolt 14 and a second bolt 15, respectively. Each second arc-shaped placement plate 13 and each arc-shaped connecting plate 12 are fixed by a third bolt 16.
[0036] In this embodiment, when planting on the umbrella top, the second arc-shaped placement plate 13 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 12 are first fixed by screwing in the third bolt 16.
[0037] When it is necessary to plant plants in the planting trough 17 of the umbrella pole and the umbrella top, the two first arc-shaped fixing plates 9 and the two second arc-shaped fixing plates 11 are fixed by using the first bolt 14 and the second bolt 15 respectively, to ensure the stability of the umbrella pole and the umbrella top, and to facilitate disassembly when disassembly is required.
[0038] Furthermore, the upper fixing module 2 and each of the first arc-shaped placement plates 10 and the second arc-shaped placement plates 13 are provided with planting grooves 17. The front side of the lower weighting module 1 is provided with a receiving groove 27, in which a counterweight can be placed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the planting trough 17 module is divided into an umbrella top trough, an umbrella shaft trough, and an umbrella bottom trough, which are suitable for the different growth needs of climbing plants, hanging plants, and plants that need to be cooled. Each planting trough 17 is equipped with a drainage system and a waterproof padding layer to ensure that the plants do not affect the service life of the support and the umbrella body.
[0040] The planter is secured to the umbrella pole using a snap-on system. The snaps are made of corrosion-resistant materials and designed to standard specifications, ensuring quick disassembly and easy replacement in outdoor environments.
[0041] Metal or cement blocks can also be placed in the receiving trough 27 for seed mixing to ensure the stability of the umbrella body during use.
[0042] Furthermore, the surface of the support rod 3 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 18 at intervals, the bottom of the surface of the movable rod 4 is provided with an elastic retaining ball 19, the surface of the movable rod 4 is slidably provided with a connecting block 29, the surface of the movable rod 4 and located on the elastic retaining ball 19 are provided with a plurality of third positioning holes 28 at intervals, the surface of the connecting block 29 is provided with a fifth positioning hole that matches the third positioning holes 28, and a fixing pin 24 is inserted into the fifth positioning hole to fix it.
[0043] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the umbrella surface 5, the elastic ball 19 is pressed to extend and retract into the support rod 3, and then the overall height of the umbrella surface 5 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the movable rod 4.
[0044] When it is necessary to adjust the opening angle of the umbrella surface 5, it is fixed by contact fixing pin 24. Then, by raising and lowering the movable connecting block 29, after adjusting to a suitable height, the angle can be fixed by inserting fixing pin 24 into the corresponding fifth positioning hole.
[0045] Furthermore, a limiting block 7 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 6, a sliding sleeve 21 is slidably provided on the surface of the connecting rod 6, a vertical rod 23 is provided on the side wall of the sliding sleeve 21, one end of the vertical rod 23 is hinged to the bottom of the water collection cover 8, a second positioning hole 22 is provided at the top and bottom of the surface of the connecting rod 6, a fourth positioning hole is provided on the surface of the sliding sleeve 21 that matches the second positioning hole 22, and a positioning pin is inserted into the fourth positioning hole to fix it, and the water collection cover 8 is opened or closed by inserting it into the second positioning hole 22 at different heights.
[0046] In this embodiment, the water collection cover 8 can be opened during rainy weather to irrigate the plants inside the umbrella with external water.
[0047] When it is necessary to open the water collection cover 8, first release the positioning pin so that the sliding sleeve 21 can slide up and down along the surface of the connecting rod 6. Move the sliding sleeve 21 to the lower second positioning hole 22 and then insert the pin into the second positioning hole 22 and through the fourth positioning hole to open and fix the water collection cover 8. When it is not needed, it can be retracted by reversing the operation.
[0048] Furthermore, the bottom of the water collection cover 8 is connected to a drip pipe 20, and the surface of the drip pipe 20 is provided with a valve.
[0049] In this embodiment, the drip irrigation pipes are distributed inside the umbrella frame according to the distribution of the green plant troughs, and can be disassembled and maintained independently. The pipes are equipped with flow control valves to prevent over-irrigation.
[0050] Each module, including the bracket (support rod 3 and movable rod 4), base, planting trough 17, and water supply system, can be replaced and repaired independently, facilitating quick repair in case of malfunction and reducing maintenance costs.
[0051] All modules use corrosion-resistant, waterproof, and UV-resistant materials (such as weather-resistant aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and ABS plastic) to ensure that the modules are not prone to aging in outdoor environments and extend their service life.
[0052] The modular base's double-layer design and the evenly distributed planting trough 17 effectively distribute the weight of the plants and the canopy, improving the overall structure's load-bearing capacity and wind resistance.
[0053] Each module adopts a standardized connector design, which facilitates disassembly and replacement, improves maintenance efficiency, and adapts to rapid deployment in multiple scenarios.
[0054] Rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation systems reduce the need for routine maintenance, while the transpiration of plants provides a cooling effect under the umbrella and purifies the air.

The base is divided into upper and lower modules. The upper module is fixed with the support rod 3, and the lower module can be weighted up or down to resist wind. The upper module also has embedded rubber pads for stability and cushioning. The first arc-shaped placement plate on the movable rod 4 holds 10 kinds of drought-resistant plants, which are shaded by the umbrella surface 5. The second arc-shaped placement plate on the connecting rod 6 holds 13 kinds of shade-loving hanging plants, which can also provide shade. Pressing the elastic ball 19 at the bottom of the movable rod 4 can adjust the height of the umbrella surface 5. The movable connecting block 29 is inserted into the positioning hole with the fixing pin 24 to adjust the opening angle of the umbrella surface 5 to adapt to different light conditions. The planting trough 17 is divided into the umbrella top, umbrella rod, and umbrella bottom troughs to accommodate different plants. It has a drainage and waterproof system. The buckle fixation makes it easy to disassemble and replace. In strong winds, the movable rod 4 can be lowered, the umbrella surface 5 can be tightened, or the second layer of green plant rack can be removed to reduce wind resistance. The bottom of the lower weight module 1 has universal wheels 26 for easy movement of the umbrella body.
